SafeNet Authentication Solutions for Salesforce

SafeNet’s authentication platforms provide a seamless, consistent strong authentication and single sign-on experience for users who want to access SaaS-based cloud applications such as Google Apps and Salesforce.com. By federating an enterprise user’s identity via the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), SafeNet authentication platforms leverage an organization’s existing authentication infrastructure so that users can use the same logon credentials for both on-premise and cloud-based applications. This unified approach, combined with support for a broad range of authentication methods and form factors, allows organizations to transition to the cloud without compromising their security perimeter. The enterprise security team retains complete control over the configuration, deployment, and administration of the authentication infrastructure, which remains in the enterprise’s IT domain. Moreover, since all strong authentication and single sign-on is handled from one platform, organizations achieve significant cost efficiencies that are reflected in reduced IT infrastructure costs, lower IT maintenance and better productivity and convenience for end users.
